Active clinical trials for "Musculoskeletal Pain"

The purpose of this pre and post intervention observational study is to evaluate patient-reported outcomes from an new clinical course which integrates Mindfulness and Acceptance-based approaches from '3rd wave' Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with osteopathic manual therapy treatment for patients with persistent pain. It is being conducted by the British School of Osteopathy (BSO) in London. In Stage 1 (in progress, June 2013 to August 2014), a course was developed for self-referring patients attending the BSO Clinic. In Stage 2 (September 2014 to May 2016), delivery will be expanded to evaluate outcomes for patients attending National Health Service (NHS) General Practitioner (GP) surgeries in South East London. The intervention consists of a pre-course screening interview; a structured course of six, weekly, one-hour treatment sessions for individual patients; and an optional follow-up interview after three months. The evaluation study is being conducted by an independent study team from the National Council for Osteopathic Research. Patients complete a set of standardised questionnaires before the course and after six months to assess self-reported changes in quality of life, well-being, activity levels, mindfulness and use of health resources. A sample of patients will be invited to provide consent for a treatment session to be observed and/or recorded, or to attend a follow-up interview after six months, to evaluate the quality of course delivery. This is an observational study of patient-reported outcomes from a new intervention in a single cohort of patients, so there is no formal study hypothesis but it is anticipated that outcomes will include increased quality of life, well-being, and active engagement with valued activities.

Study Design: Evaluation of the psychometric properties of a translated, culturally adapted questionnaire. Objective: Translating, culturally adapting, and validating the Italian version of the Dance Functional Outcome Survey (DFOS-IT), allowing its use with Italian-speaking dancers to evaluate their musculoskeletal health and wellbeing inside and outside Italy. Summary of Background Data: Musculoskeletal injuries are a phenomenon of huge prevalence and has been a major focus within peer-reviewed literature since the 1980s. Growing attention is devoted to standardized outcome measures to improve interventions for injured dancers. A translated form of the DFOS, the only existing outcome measure that focus on the unique functional requirements of dancers, has never been validated within the Italian dancers population.

Genetic variability from epigenetic modification of genes related to pain physiology and opioid pharmacodynamics may influence susceptibility to high-impact chronic musculoskeletal pain, opioid efficacy, and vulnerability to opioid abuse. Exploring the role of epigenomics and opioid addiction may improve understanding and treatment of these complex multifactorial conditions and, potentially, reduce their development.

The purpose of this study is to study the impact of Live Preferential Music on the patient perception of pain and management of pain syndromes in the ED.

Prevalence of musculoskeletal pain and its impact of quality of life and functional exercise capacity will be evaluated in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Experiencing an episode of musculoskeletal (MSK) pain in young age significantly increases the risk of developing MSK pain later in life. Consequently, knowledge on modifiable risk factors early in life is needed. In this prospective cohort study, data from the population-based Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT) will be used to investigate whether a combination of lifestyle factors in adolescence is associated with persistent MSK pain in young adulthood.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether a daily, 15-minute stretching routine for one year reduces musculoskeletal pain and improves quality of life in personnel working in the radiology and cardiology departments at Mayo Clinics and Mayo Clinic Health System sites.

The study is tested the idea of two forms of musculoskeletal pain prophylaxis (chair massage and an original set of exercises) among musicians. The hypothesis of the study was that massage and exercises could be helpful for musicians to avoid pain conected with playing musical instrument.

Covid-19 outbreak and lockdown measures raised significant concerns over clinical management of chronic pain patients around the world. Patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMSP) are at high risk of physical disability, psychological distress, and poor quality of life. Analgesic medications were main management during lockdown, but opioid-related concerns have prompted to find immediate alternatives. Present study was undertaken to determine whether patients randomized to tele-yoga therapy would experience less pain, disability and improved global health, adherence and satisfaction, compared with patients assigned to usual care.

The purpose of the study is to determine physical and mental health issues of U.K. embryologists related to their occupational characteristics, and how workplace fatigue and burnout may affect their quality of life, cynicism, interactions with patients, attention to detail, and lead to human error, the cause of the most severe IVF incidents that often make headlines and result in costly litigation. It will also correlate how the current manual workflows contribute to these health issues, and what measures can be taken to improve both working conditions and embryologists' health, and, therefore, improve patient care.
